P. King Duckling
What's the Story?
P. KING DUCKLING is an animated series about a duckling and his friends. P. King Duckling (voiced by Marc Thompson) lives in Hilly Hole and shares time with Wombat (Courtney Shaw), an artist, and a tech-loving pig named Chumpkins (Benjie Randall). P. King likes to try new things and go on adventures, but even his best-laid plans go awry. However, with some creative thinking, he and his friends try to find ways to make it work.
Is It Any Good?
From decorating the Eiffel Tower to upcycling garbage into cutting-edge fashion, this lighthearted Chinese-American series shows how creative thinking can help overcome challenges. P. King Duckling helps kids learn that working with friends makes many things easier -- and a lot more fun. The way the series presents these ideas in the narrative is more entertaining than educational, but it still delivers some positive messages that young kids will pick up on. Overall, P. King Duckling is a fun show that preschoolers can enjoy.
